As a youth, I felt like my future is already been destroyed and crushed by student loan debt, inflations, medical bills, and insurance. While our salary is barely enough to survive. We will work until the day we die without retirement, while living in our parents' basement or a tent in the woods.
I hate to admit this, but sometimes it’s just too much and I can barely find the strength to make it through a week. I don’t really talk to family anymore because they argue over everything with me, and I’m gay, which I also get judged for. I’ve just tried finding cognitive dissonance is keeping my head above water and block the rest out. I am beyond broken.
Meanwhile, Republicans will do another tax break for billionaires while cutting programs for the poor and homeless. Just wait till they get in power again!
@@thisisbrad if the only thing you can keep above water is your nostrils do it, the struggle will be worth it when we turn this around. And we will, if and only if we stick around and vote for everything…from school boards to governors all the way to the top.

These arguments shouldn't have ever come up as congress can pass budgets, but the debt limit is constitutionally, in plain text, not up for debate.
@@NavariteAzuth not all spending is to cover debts, what this means is we do not send money to Ukraine and pay for hotel rooms for illegals or the new green deal. there is plenty of money coming in to pay debts. the problem is we can't pay our bills now, not even close. if we could we would not have to keep borrowing more and more.
Like how he leaves out that the spending during trump was because of Bill's passed before he got in office but what can you say Democrats the party of pedophiles drug addicts and spending taxpayer money on there welfare bills

Those who bring up use of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment... should ALSO tell us all how lame they think gun control is.
If they don't want to talk about taxing the unimaginably wealthy fairly, why would we even sit down with those threatening to doom the world economy, if the poor are not cut off from basic human needs to stay alive or healthy?
We should also go after tax cheats, those who hide money overseas and such, and for those who hide more than 5 million in wealth we can use the precedent of Al Capone hiding money and give them the same sentence of life in prison!!
Wrong, Gerty. As a co-equal branch of the US government, it is for President Biden to let Speaker Kevin McCarthy of the Congress, take the responsibility for that decision. As President and head of the Executive branch, Joe Biden has other matters, to which, to attend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For one: Since the war in Ukraine, is actually a war with China, via Ukraine, with the useful idiots of the Russians, as China's proxy army, with which to wage war on the west, President Biden really needs to make a stopover in Taipei, to send the Xi-CCP Hegemonarchy a powerful message :-)

Q Being in debt so long that you have had to increase the debt ceiling already 80 times is very IRRESPONSIBLE. Honey....if you're only constantly living on debt you're the problem not the debt ceiling. #1 work and earn money 💰 #2 pay your bills and save some money 💰 #3 invest a portion HERE YOU'RE LIVING ON CREDIT CARDS AND WHEN YOU REACH THE LIMIT, YOU ASK FOR A HIGHER LIMIT....80 FREAKING TIMES AND YOU WANT IT FOR THE 81st time.....

@@hrhtreeoflife4815 #1 You don't know me at all. #2 I'm not out of control, the Republican party is. All of a sudden it's a manufactured problem. Where was the outrage when they voted to raise the ceiling 3 times in one term under Trump, and still gave massive tax breaks to the wealthy and big business. And who picked up the tab, the working class. The same group being threatened with massive cuts to programs that would effect millions, including millions of jobs. It's irresponsible, heartless, and without thought. AMERICA has always paid its debts. All the Republicans are looking to do is take the American economy...hostage. They stand for nothing else, but chaos.👎🖤
Bernie wish you would run for office you would have my vote, i will never vote for the GOPs, if the Majority are willing to turn their backs on January 6th why doesnt it not surprise me on them not wanting to help out the poor and middle class, we have Pathetic leadership in the GOPs!
Can we start asking the GQP why their answer is always to cut spending for the neediest among us instead of raising revenue through increased taxes on the extremely wealthy and stopping the corporate welfare system?
Thank you for serving the U.S. people, Mr. Sanders, we need more like you- Congress people who actually care about their country more than their personal bank balance.
This is true, but unfortunately, both parties have enjoyed majorities over the last 50 years, still 50 trillion dollars in wealth have been allowed to transfer from the working class to the wealthy. There is something grossly wrong with our political system.
Yes - Bernie has pointed out again and again the growing wealth inequality in the USA. Perhaps some of it is because the rich folks do not pay their fair share in taxes. If they paid more taxes, the government would need to borrow less.
All the republicans want to do take from the working class this year when I filed my taxes i got back the worst tax return return that I have ever gotten back usually get back 1200 to 1500 this year got back 200 dollars and I make 37000 a year
Dems just play good cop. Think about it, EVERY bad GOP idea had a Dem bringing it over the finish line. Some of these bad ideas are NAFTA, ending Glass Steagall, Welfare cuts, The Crime Bill, 500k dead Iraqis due to sanctions, DOMA, DADT, prolonging the Afghanistan War, voting for the Iraq War, starting new wars, failure to close GITMO, GITMO torture (rectal force feeding), tried to cut Social Security, tried to bring us "NAFTA on steroids (TPP)," privatizing education with Charter Schools, making The Bush Tax Cuts permanent, normalizing GOP immigration, kept Trump's Iran policy; the list is long.
@@timmyg44 Ahhhh so your orange traitor didn't add 25% of the total debt in 4 years? And in 2 years your President Biden had paid 1.2 trillion dollars towards the debt. Just eliminate the debt ceiling.
Because they are both populist candidates. When you vote in this political system you are voting for who you think can win and who somewhat has more of the values/policies of what you believe in. They both were very much against the elite and anti establishment and anti-political toward the normal system. Biden is a career politician who just like many other politiians are corrupt and will do whatever the system tells them to keep power. That's the one similar thing between Bernie and Trump both are an f you to the whole system and flip it on it's head. I'm 100% positive there's even better candidates esp to Trump but they don't stand a chance against even a shoe when it comes to even getting nominated nevermind winning.
Say no to Blackmail.

@@deniseelles4545 There is something to be said for wisdom that comes with age, but Bernie has always been a terrific advocate for the people. Agreed that it's great to have Bernie being in the position he is now so that he can make his words heard.
Wow. I just posted 20 years younger before I read your post and 30 years is even better.
Do I hear 40 years?
Anyone notice how well spoken and knowledgeable Bernie is at his age, as opposed to trump who speaks like a deranged idiot?
Thank you Bernie for telling the truth God bless America
This man actually does his job. He’s 81 years old and trying to drag the country back from the brink!!! He should be relaxing after a lifetime of service to others. Yet, here he is, trying to protect people!!!!!!
Bernie Sanders is such a great communicator.
Make it happen Senator Sanders! Please get President Biden to use the 14th Amendment!
Hello James how are you doing 😊
It would have to go through the courts which would take months.
HOT DOG!!! BILLIONS MORE FOR UKRAINE AND BIDEN'S ILLEAGLE IMMIGRANTS! AM. RESCUE, INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILD BACK BROKE AND OMINOUS BILL NOT ENOUGH! WHO'S WORRIED? SEND THE BILL TO OUR KIDS! EVERY ONE BORN OWES $100,000 TODAY! SPEND SPEND! CHINA JUST BOUGHT GM AND TESLA - GET READY TO NEGOTIATE WITH CHINA - AUTO UNION - SPEND! SPEND MORE!
@@johnp139 We would have to be in a Civil war... which we aren't. The 14th Amendment was put in place for Abraham Lincoln to continue moving forward with the government during war time. That is the sticking point for those who have NO PLAN. Claim to use an ammendment that is ONLY for war time. Those who bring up use of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment... should ALSO tell us all how lame they think gun control is.
how does that work?
If they don't want to talk about taxing the unimaginably wealthy fairly, why would we even sit down with those threatening to doom the world economy, if the poor are not cut off from basic human needs to stay alive or healthy?
There should be a Windfall Profits Tax bill.
The issue is revenue, not spending. Get rid of the income cap on Social Security. Make the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.
We should also go after tax cheats, those who hide money overseas and such, and for those who hide more than 5 million in wealth we can use the precedent of Al Capone hiding money and give them the same sentence of life in prison!!
Bernie, as always thank you.
don't have a debt ceiling
Exactly. Only 2 countries have this. I think it's the US and Denmark.
The debt ceiling law was enacted as a provision of the 2d Liberty Bond drive 1917. About time that was rescinded.
If it were taken away, then Republicans would have a harder time holding the U.S. economy hostage.
Thank you, Senator Sanders, for the specifics.
I agree use the 14th Admendment.
The president MUST use the 14th Amendment! Don’t let these MAGA Republicans get away with this BS!
Wrong, Gerty. As a co-equal branch of the US government, it is for President Biden to let Speaker Kevin McCarthy of the Congress, take the responsibility for that decision. As President and head of the Executive branch, Joe Biden has other matters, to which, to attend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For one: Since the war in Ukraine, is actually a war with China, via Ukraine, with the useful idiots of the Russians, as China's proxy army, with which to wage war on the west, President Biden really needs to make a stopover in Taipei, to send the Xi-CCP Hegemonarchy a powerful message :-)
So what left over debt from the Civil War do we need the 14th Amendment to pay off?
Love you Bernie, always fighting for us.
He’s not. He’s a politician. He’s rich and getting richer. Dont be fooled by the meek old man look. He’s simply a puppet recruiting money for the state. The all powerful state always slaughters it’s people.
A good politician empowers its citizens to become self reliant and not depend on the state. Teach a man to fish so that he can feed himself and not need You.
Bernie will go down in history as a real hero along with legends like Harriet Tubman
Lol
@@yvonnelink8943 You're laughing but he will. All Corporate Dems and the GOP have brought us is a country ruled by the oligarchy and war.
I have a masters degree and did not know about future budgets and Republican actions. Thank you for informing us Americans. Republicans hope to keep everyone in the dark so they can lie their way into power. Thank you Bernie
How are people in the military supposed to fight for this country worrying about their own families being on the streets?
Thank you Senator Sanders, Markey, Merkley and Fetterman to honor the 14th amendment. Disregard the heartless Republicans.🔥💚💙👍🏻👍👍🏽👍🏿
Fvck you. He know where he is want he wants to accomplish. He has a communication issue. But you’re too ignorant to understand science.
@@unbreakable7633 Obviously you are a neurologist, cardiologist from an AMA sanctioned medical school. When someone has a stroke, his speech is just delayed...considering what he went through, the fact that he is not having paralysis on one side of the body is remarkable. Sen. Mark Kirk had a stroke and used a cane, and he kept his office.
yes, we must guarantee that our children are saddled with our enormous debt after we are gone.
@@timmyg44 MAKE THE FILTHY RICH AND CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR F'NG SHARE OF THE TAXES, AND YOU WON'T HAVE NEED TO WORRY🤬❢❢❢
Hey my fellow voters: Bernie's had our backs for many decades spanning parts of two centuries. Isn't it about time we have his back? We need to get behind him and VOTE. Vote for the good of our country and for the good of our selves and our neighbors!
Bernie is a smart man and he is pushing for things. We should listen to him. He is going to make our lives better
Thank you Bernie Sanders for fighting the good fight and speaking truth to power!
Republicans are such benevolent caring humans...
Straight up traitors to the country acting treasonously, they should be jailed.
the Republicans in Congress.
The area in the 14th Amendment, Section 4 that Bernie was talking about, the full quote would be:
"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."
That is the full area of the 14th Amendment, Section 4 that Bernie was talking about.
Thank you
"insurrection or rebellion" That would be the Civil War. This was part of the reconstruction time 3 years after the Civil War ended.
Mr. PRESIDENT...Invoke the 14 Amendment and protect America from these thoughtless and heartless outlaws of the Republican party. SHAMEFUL. 😡👎🖤
Why it does nothing it has to be passed by Congress so there back to fighting again however I wonder if it means the congress from the definition which consists of the house and Senate that make congress or a different term sense its so old
Q
Being in debt so long that you have had to increase the debt ceiling already 80 times is very IRRESPONSIBLE.
Honey....if you're only constantly living on debt you're the problem not the debt ceiling.
#1 work and earn money 💰
#2 pay your bills and save some money 💰
#3 invest a portion
HERE YOU'RE LIVING ON CREDIT CARDS AND WHEN YOU REACH THE LIMIT, YOU ASK FOR A HIGHER LIMIT....80 FREAKING TIMES AND YOU WANT IT FOR THE 81st time.....
BRO YOU'RE OUT OF CONTROL AND GOTTA STOP....I know it will hurt....but this is insane 😳
Q ❤️
@@hrhtreeoflife4815 #1 You don't know me at all. #2 I'm not out of control, the Republican party is. All of a sudden it's a manufactured problem. Where was the outrage when they voted to raise the ceiling 3 times in one term under Trump, and still gave massive tax breaks to the wealthy and big business. And who picked up the tab, the working class. The same group being threatened with massive cuts to programs that would effect millions, including millions of jobs. It's irresponsible, heartless, and without thought. AMERICA has always paid its debts. All the Republicans are looking to do is take the American economy...hostage. They stand for nothing else, but chaos.👎🖤
@@hrhtreeoflife4815NO..,YOU ARE INSANE
We love you Bernie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He gives facts, not rhetoric! He is a truly honorable man
Way to go uncle Bernie!✊🏾
Republicans are willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. Thank you Bernie.
They're so desperate to "own the libs" they'll almost commit 'sideways' just to prove their moronic stance.
While your at it don't forget to praise Democrats for allowing Children to be Mutilated by cutting off their Genitalia!
Bernie wish you would run for office you would have my vote, i will never vote for the GOPs, if the Majority are willing to turn their backs on January 6th why doesnt it not surprise me on them not wanting to help out the poor and middle class, we have Pathetic leadership in the GOPs!
GO BERNIE!
Thank You Mr Bernie Sanders for stating the truth! I certainly wish you would run again for president!
Can we start asking the GQP why their answer is always to cut spending for the neediest among us instead of raising revenue through increased taxes on the extremely wealthy and stopping the corporate welfare system?
Love you Bernie. You go.
Pay our debt by taxing corporations and billionaires
🇺🇸 Sanders Stewart 2024 🇺🇸
@Coogan Yeah I know just a suggestion 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤡🤡🤡🤡
Thank you for serving the U.S. people, Mr. Sanders, we need more like you- Congress people who actually care about their country more than their personal bank balance.
This is true, but unfortunately, both parties have enjoyed majorities over the last 50 years, still 50 trillion dollars in wealth have been allowed to transfer from the working class to the wealthy. There is something grossly wrong with our political system.
Yes - Bernie has pointed out again and again the growing wealth inequality in the USA. Perhaps some of it is because the rich folks do not pay their fair share in taxes. If they paid more taxes, the government would need to borrow less.
Thank goodness for mr. Sanders!! Listening to him will get things done!! Vote blue!!
All the republicans want to do take from the working class this year when I filed my taxes i got back the worst tax return return that I have ever gotten back usually get back 1200 to 1500 this year got back 200 dollars and I make 37000 a year
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Love you Burney ❤ you always have our back! Thank you Sir 😊
Please don’t let those evil republicans destroy the youth’s future
@@unbreakable7633 WOW on UA-cam for 4 months equals TROLL. Well I'd rather be a Dem than a authoritarian like you.
@@unbreakable7633 Democrats have never held the debt ceiling hostage.
Dems just play good cop. Think about it, EVERY bad GOP idea had a Dem bringing it over the finish line. Some of these bad ideas are NAFTA, ending Glass Steagall, Welfare cuts, The Crime Bill, 500k dead Iraqis due to sanctions, DOMA, DADT, prolonging the Afghanistan War, voting for the Iraq War, starting new wars, failure to close GITMO, GITMO torture (rectal force feeding), tried to cut Social Security, tried to bring us "NAFTA on steroids (TPP)," privatizing education with Charter Schools, making The Bush Tax Cuts permanent, normalizing GOP immigration, kept Trump's Iran policy; the list is long.
yes, make sure those kids are loaded with debt that you incurred.
@@timmyg44 Ahhhh so your orange traitor didn't add 25% of the total debt in 4 years? And in 2 years your President Biden had paid 1.2 trillion dollars towards the debt. Just eliminate the debt ceiling.
it still puzzles me how many "Bernie Bros" thought and still think voting for DT was somehow the next best alternative to this good man.
Because they are both populist candidates. When you vote in this political system you are voting for who you think can win and who somewhat has more of the values/policies of what you believe in. They both were very much against the elite and anti establishment and anti-political toward the normal system. Biden is a career politician who just like many other politiians are corrupt and will do whatever the system tells them to keep power. That's the one similar thing between Bernie and Trump both are an f you to the whole system and flip it on it's head.
I'm 100% positive there's even better candidates esp to Trump but they don't stand a chance against even a shoe when it comes to even getting nominated nevermind winning.
All the Bernie supporters I know voted for Biden rather than Trump.
